Saltyqueen, I was not trying to make anyone sound like the bad guy and tried to furthur explain the premise behind my definition of "murder." I can certainly understand why anyone would use lethal force in certain situations and if I were in that situation, I too perhaps could take that path (hence my admitting that I struggle with this entire ideology). Nevertheless, that still doesn't mean that I think it is right.

To say that a police officer who chooses to kill rather than be killed is a murderer is like a slap in the face to them. Soldiers & law enforcement officers put their lives on the line everyday so that the rest of us can live peaceful lives. Lets show them some appreciation, rather than point fingers at them...

Thats exactly why I didn't want to delve much further into this subject because I did not want to "slap anyone in the face." I appreciate the hell out of what all of our civil servants do for this great nation. While I may disagree with some of the methods being used, that certainly does not mean that I don't admire them or see them as upstanding people.
THere are a lot of things I disagree with that goes on in this country, but that certainly doesn't mean that I am not proud to be an American. That same principle can be used in this circumstance...
Again, I meant absolutly no disrespect but I can't help the way I believe and fell, does that make sense?
Take er easy
